The West Invitational was at its best on Saturday. With 17 girls teams, 2o boys teams, and over 900 runners it was the biggest event in the history of the meet. After discussing with veteran coach Dale Shepherd and former Girls Coach Jeff Dee it was decided the meet was begun in 1981. It is definitely a proud part of Parkway West's history.
To all of those that helped out THANK YOU. We had many parents course marshalling, selling food and t-shirts, and supporting the team. Thanks!!
If you do get the oppurtunity please take the time to thank Coach Shepherd (Head Boys Coach) for putting together the meet. He spent a lot of time and energy making sure things went smoothly. Another special thanks goes out to Coach Jeff Dee (former Girls Head Coach) for assisting.
I have some new photos that I will update tomorrow!!
I would have to say after arriving in shorts I realized that was a mistake. The sun never came through and it was probably around 60, cloudy and windy for the majority of the meet. It was perfect racing weather.
The team LOOKED SHARP in the new warmups. I must admit you were by far the best dressed team at the meet. Please keep track of all the gear you have recieved as you will need to turn it in at the end of the season.
I was impressed with many of the runs at the meet. We seem to get faster and faster. It was a tougher course then Arnold Park the week before but we still had people PR. We are battling injuries and sickness but we now have a solid two weeks to get ready for Conference.
At the Varsity level great run by Laura Michel (20:06), Molly Parato (21:18). Also good job by Laura Ritthamel, she stayed smooth throughout.
At the JV level Megan "Buggy" Arnell was on FIRE. She PRed by 40 seconds or so. Awesome run.
In the freshmen/sophomore race Kali "California" Taylor moved away from the rest of the pack after the mile marker and never looked back. She PRed also.
